That box on the back looks like what we had on the ww2 GMC's and Studebaker's

Thats a dandy ! I can picture a country drive on a moonlit night with the top down, and my sweetie by my side. Gotta watch for roo's though, or deer here.

Re: Australian 1940-1941 Ford Open Cab Pick-Ups
Man, those are cool ! I wonder what the sign bracket on the front was for. US WW2 vehicles had a round "bridge plate" usually mounted on the grill which showed the gross weight so a vehicle could be identified as over weight for a small bridge by the sentry at the bridge. Cool trucks, keep em comin Merc Man

Australian WWII Ford Blitz. To answer cas3's Question, I believe that "Sign Bracket" was to display the Unit or Regiment that the Truck belonged to, like on this Ford Blitz. |

Re: Australian 1940-1941 Ford Open Cab Pick-Ups
I snagged this off a recent video posted by John Mills.
Not sure if this is the exact type we are looking at but I found it interesting that this one is located here in the UK. Here is a link to the video to put it in context. https://youtu.be/VBGPTnjgmR0 The truck is at the 10:40 mark approx. |
